</I>><i> I used easyurpmi for a while, mainly to add PLF sources, or to specify a
</I>><i> specific mirror when there was some mirroring problems in MDV (hdlist
</I>><i> not synced with repository content for instance).
</I>><i>
</I>><i> As noted previously, the PLF issue does not hold for MGA.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> It is probably worth improving the way the current media manager is
</I>><i> working than add yet another tool to the distrib.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> We could have for instance checkboxes when importing media sources with:
</I>><i>
</I>><i> - select mirror: by default let the media manager find a mirror for you,
</I>><i> else select one in a list
</I>><i> - include tainted: by default disable access to tainted repository. Warn
</I>><i> the user about the content of those repositories.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> The main point is that people often do not know about the media manager.
</I>><i> Maybe a button to that tool directly in the update app would give it
</I>><i> more visibility, instead of looking into it on the package manager menu.
</I>><i> Or maybe it should be an app on its own.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Daniel
</I>><i>
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Well, it is "an app on its own", just look at Mageia Control Center.
</I>><i>
</I>
I mean with an entry in the system/administration menu, as for other
package related tools.
